Berrrrr!

Wheeeee! It's the first day of September! And we all know what that means, Christmas countdown begins!

We, Pinoys, make such a big deal out of it, and honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way because I super love this season!

See how every sentence in this post ended with an exclamation point? THAT is how serious I am with Christmas :))

Here are some Christmas photos from around the world to get us all warm and fuzzy for the weekend:




Smiling snowmen light bulbs! :) You gotta admire the simplicity of this idea, and the play of light and colors has Christmas joy written all over it.

Fish-eye effect from the happiest place on the  planet! That's right! This one's taken in Disney World, Orlando Florida :)

"Watashiwa Santa Claus desu." :)) So that's about as far as I know with Nihongo. But aren't those chinky-eyed Santa Claus so cute? I am not sure what they are doing here though, but this-much splash of red and white, coupled with those beards, will keep any Christmas scrooge at bay :)

Taken from another side of the world, I like the little details in the photo --the candy-filled glass bowl, the nativity miniature behind it, the lit candles held by a glass with angels on it (betcha didn't see that!) & the Christmas tree at the back :)
Taken Somewhere (lol. there's no note as to where this dude took this photo, sorry!)


Can you say Christmas bazaar? Taken in Madrid Spain, this reminds me an awful lot of Divi and Greenhills where Christmas rush shopping scouring through tiangges is already a tradition that some have come to loathe and love over the years :)

Speaking of Greenhills, Christmas display has now been moved from COD (I live in Cubao so this really brings back memories) to here. I remember we were so little back then that my dad had to carry us on his back alternately just so we can see the show. :)

I am sure there are memories popping up in your heads right about now :) While it is good to preserve traditions, I am also looking forward to making new ones this Christmas! Hope you are too!

Happy Sunday!

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC.
